KANSAS AFFAIRS.
had drums, and fiddles, and flags. I saw no artillery or cannon.
They encamped across the ravine near here-at Wade's. I was in a
part of their camp-a smnall portion of it. I saw there Lewis Glover,
who lived in Lafayette county, Missouri, Redman Robinson, of Jackson county, Missouri. There were a good many others there I knew,
but I cannot now remember their names. They were froni Missouri.
I was pretty well acquainted with this district at that timne. None
of the men I saw there lived in this district, so far as I knew. They
said they had come here to vote; some of them said they did vote.
That was said after the election. They said they had a rilght to vote
here; that this country belonged to Missouri, and they would vote.
I heard no speeches made in the camp. A detachment was sent off
the night of the 29th to a district above here. They said there was
not enough went up there to carry the election in that district. I
saw the samne men at the election voting. I was not in the camp
till the morning of the 30th. I saw a great many of them going up
to the polls with tickets in their hands; they said they were going to
vote. They left here, part that evening and part the next morning.
To Major Oliver:
I am not acquainted witli Claiborne Jackson; I am not sure that
he commanded the company; I heard it said that hlie did; I resided
since Aug,st, 1854, in this district; I had conversations only with a
few; I had knowled,ge of some of them. I conversed with Calloway
Adams; don't remember only part of what he said; he said he (lid not
come here to vote-he was not old enough. That is all that I conversed with; only a few words to others, that I don't remember. I
think it was said that there were about a thousand; I saw the men;
did not count them; I merely spoke to Lewis Glover; had no conversation with Redman Robinson. I saw some of them giving in their
tickets; did not see Robinson, nor Adams; I was out in the crowd
about the win(lows; was not old enough to vote; don't know who they
voted for. I said, that they said they had come here to vote. I heard
them say their reasons for coming was that they had a right to vote
I heard tleni say at the polls that they had as good a rilght to vote as
others that lad recently come into the Territory from other States
they said that persons from the east had no right to come here and
settle, and( no right to vote; does not remember who ma(le the remark
that Kansas TeIrritory belonged to Missouri; heard it ill carnmp. Iy
wge is twenty-two years now.
Re-examined by Mr. Reeder:
It was said that Jackson was the leader; I do not recollect when;
I heard the expression from several, I don't know how may, that perons from the east had no right to come here and settle, and no right
o vote.
